A helping hand in a tough spot
By OEM Update Editorial December 15, 2016 11:40 am
Dormer Pramet has developed a new range of tools for drilling spot welds and sheet metal.
The new spot weld drills have been specifically designed for drilling out spot welds to release steel panels and sheets. A number of standard sizes are available to suit common spot welds found in the automotive and trailer repair industry.
Manufactured from high speed cobalt (HSS-E), the A723 drill, which has a bronze surface finish, offers high hot hardness to retain a sharp cutting edge under extreme conditions.
A special lip and spur point geometry provides positive centering, while the sharp outer-corners cut the softer material around the spot weld.
The drills, launched under the company’s Dormer brand, feature a strong web for additional strength and improved penetration in tough conditions. Their short flute also gives stability when hand held drilling thin panels and sheet.
Dormer’s High Speed Steel (HSS) sheet metal drills are available in a number of standard sizes to suit common rivets, screws and bolts. Suitable for drilling thin sheet steel and panels, the A123 range features a 120-degree point geometry with a short flute to provide easy penetration and rigidity in portable applications.
